On my neo, for some reason I can't connect to dbus when running from an ssh session (either USB or over Bluetooth). So you'll probably have to run the above command in the neo Terminal.

It will import all of the contacts on your SIM into openmoko-contacts. Unfortunately, my SIM doesn't seem to give a contact type, so I arbitrarily set the first phone number for a given name to Home, the next to Work, and any remaining to Cell numbers. I figure it's far easier to click the drop-down & correct them as necessary than to type all your contact info in manually on the neo keyboard, which was my option before I wrote this :-)

There was some talk on the mailing lists about apps that delete or update entries from the SIM, etc. ALL this app does is create a new openmoko-contacts2 entry for each SIM contact entry. It doesn't remove or change any data in either the SIM or openmoko-contacts2.

Just copy it to your neo, install python-dbus, and then run:
python addContact sim

dbus could find its session address somehow through X11, but as said, it is not supported. But there is another solution:
Using the Neo on-screen keyboard type (or source a script):
echo -n 'export ' > /home/root/x
set | grep DBUS >> /home/root/x

In your ssh session type:
. /home/root/x

Then you have the dbus Id from the local X11 console in the ssh session and the addContact script should run fine.

Better still - add the following lines below the import section of the script:
